Lakers can win enough to be the 7th seed, as long as Lebron and AD stay healthy until all star break. This roster isn’t a contender, but Bron trusts lakers FO to make trades to improve the team.
Lebron will average 35 ppg and play 40+ minutes and that will account for a lot Lakers wins between December and January. He and AD are pacing themselves for a tough schedule it’s obvious. Lebron will up intensity in December and January, hopefully he doesn’t get injured like last year.
Or Phil Handy who’s even worse than Ham. Terry Stotts would be the only upgrade
AD had Embiid sealed pass the ball
Ham’s gameplan against good teams is to go down by 20 in the 1st quarter and wait for 38 yo Lebron to do magic in the 4th quarter
Watch Ham save 2 timeouts at the end, he thinks you can save them for the next game
Wolves are the only team in the west that can live with Jokic scoring, but take away those dump offs to Gordon. They even have great wing defense to make things harder for Murray
2 centers and still cant get te rebound
Rockets are just pakcing the paint on every Russ postup literally no spacing
Reaves is the odd man out, Dlo can actually playmake
Reaves really sucks
Fake comebacks have been keeping Ham from being fired for the past 2 seasons
Embiid in the same tier as Jokic and so is Giannis.
Lakers are a bottom 5 offense now, how do they always come back worse
Booker clearly should’ve been ranked in the top 10
Harden they need star power
Lakers need Harden more than the Clippers do
Lebron will probably be playing 40+ minutes in January again trying to keep the Lakers in playoffs.
Zubac and Tucker for Vucevic. Zubac makes Harden’s job harder, plus Clippers need more spacing
